Am switching over the old leaking injectors in my 1982 HR30 with the L20 turbo motor but can't seem to find the resistor pack.

There must be one as it's running low impedance injectors(2.8 ohms).

Anyone know where to look please?

Thanks!...I've read that Nissan used cheaper ECU's that needed resistor packs because they couldn't handle the low impedance injector amps.

My R30 definitely doesn't have a pack so if you are right they must have used an expensive ECU in only the R30 turbo model...interesting!

wow i haven't logged into SAU in A LONG TIME...

that pic is of your boost vac sensor (from memory)

I swapped my L20et injectors for RB20 ones ... pretty sure it was the na VL commonwhore ones @ about $80 each > maybe try searching for my old thread

good luck with those brittle old injector spacers and finding where you start sucking in air when you change them :)

Yep it's a 1982 so 30 years old so needs some work,I notice the injector spacers are already broken (havn't touched them yet) and there's petrol bubbling around the seals.

I was going to but some RB20 injectors in which are 14.5 ohm(high impedance)and by-pass the resistor pack but seeing there isn't one I guess it's back to finding some low impedance ones.

Yes that's the boost sensor in pic,was showing wild fluctuating boost on the gauge so I broke it open and cleaned it,works fine now.

Just replaced the water pump recently as the shaft had wobbled out of it bush and the fan was hitting the cowl...it ontrack.jpgdeserves to be bought back to top condition after towing a horse jogging frame every day for the last 7 years.

Oh and it can still keep pace with my R33 RB25 turbo easy,don't know how but it does!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
